In this second lesson, you’ll apply core mesh modeling concepts by modeling a simple snowman in Blender.

This project focuses on building confidence with basic modeling workflows, working with simple forms, and developing good habits early—such as clean proportions, working to scale, and thinking about shapes before tools. The snowman serves as a low-pressure way to practice foundational techniques that transfer to more complex models later in the course.

This lesson is designed for beginners who are new to Blender or 3D modeling, but it’s also useful for self-taught artists who want to reinforce fundamentals and improve the overall quality of their work.

This lesson is part of a larger CORE learning path on CG Cookie.

If you want to continue building your skills in a structured way, the next course in the series is Fundamentals of Sculpting. It’s available with a CG Cookie membership and includes guided exercises, project files, structured learning paths, and feedback from experienced artists.
